From the press release:


Luminous Elsewheres is curated by Deborah Barlow, Alison Cuomo and Karen Fitzgerald. Representing three international artist collectives--Pell Lucy, Fluid Media and Spliced Connector, respectively—the curators have selected work from members of these groups as well as other aligned artists. “We all share an interest in the many ways artists create extraordinary ‘elsewheres’: trusting the process, learning from materials, relying on intuition, giving voice to the innate intelligence of form,” the curators stated.


"Each artist in Luminous Elsewheres has honed a vision of a personal ‘elsewhere’ that embodies its own radiant dimensionality,” the curators have written. “These visual explorations open up new ways of seeing, feeling and perceiving.” Sourced primarily through intuition and the process of art making itself, the works included in this show bring viewers closer to what Susan Sontag described as “the luminousness of the thing in itself.”


In addition to receptions for the opening and the closing of the show, conversations about Luminous Elsewheres will be scheduled. Updates about the exhibit can be found at https://www.slowmuse.com/2023/01/31/luminous-elsewheres/
